The method
proto_naming.interface_name
was previously unused since ProtoBuf does not support interfaces anyway. It is now used to generate the_choice
suffix for message definitions that try to mimic polymorphism with theoneof
keyword. This reduces the risk of inconsistent naming when generating the ProtoBuf message definitions.As part of this PR, comments regarding ProtoBuf intricacies have been refined.
Also, the files for the ProtoBuf test cases have been moved slightly to align with the directory structure of the other generator tests.
